About this Event

To mark Transgender Awareness Week , we're hosting workshops exploring queerness in nature through poetry, movement, and craft, connecting identity and ecology.

Thanks to the support of Hackney Council's Pride 365 funding, the costs of the workshop have been fully covered! If you book a ticket and can no longer make it please let us know :)

Accessibility

Allens Community Garden has no steps but is uneven and can be slippery in wet weather. The toilet is accessible by a ramp that has unfortunately broken, so includes a slope upwards and downwards. The main paths are wheelchair accessible but the spaces between beds can be too narrow at points for a wheelchair to pass.

We have some accessible tools and knee pads, but not all the tools we'd like. We can provide waterproofs and warmer clothes if needed. The site has running water and lots of seating. There is an unfenced pond, so small children need supervision. We actively seek to accommodate sensory needs.
